Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Smashing success

A few new moves…

Link’s final smash involves drawing upon the power of the Triforce to drive your blade into your opponent. Cutting ol’ stinky Wario open is unwise.

Peach’s is somewhat gentler. Peach blossom lulls foes to sleep, letting the princess gorge on health-giving peaches. And kick her sleeping pals.

Samus’s final smash blast is so powerful it rips her clothes off- steady on- and leaves her as Zero Suit Samus, with an entirely different move set.

Level Headed

What’s the point of over-the-top scraps if you haven’t got a suitably over-the-top location to have them in? While a few old favourites are reappearing with a spot of polish- Melee’s Hyrule Temple is looking gorgeous- we’re far more excited about these thumping grounds…
